** Description changed:
Binary package hint: nautilus
- SUMMARY
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
+ Release: 14.04
- If you copy a file with the same name ("Photos", no extension) to a
- folder which contains a folder ("~") with the same name ("Photos"), the
- folder "Photos" will be overwritten completely
+ 2) apt-cache policy nautilus
+ nautilus:
+ Installed: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4
+ Candidate: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4
+ Version table:
+ *** 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4 0
+ 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64
Packages

- This is how I lost all my photos (guys, DO backup!)
+ 3) What is expected to happen is when one executes the following in a
terminal:
+ cd ~/Desktop
+ mkdir test
+ cd
+ touch test
+
+ then uses Nautilus to copy the file test to the Desktop, it does not allow
this, just like it won't when using cp in a terminal:
+ cp test Desktop/
+ sudo cp test Desktop/
+ cp: cannot overwrite directory ‘Desktop/test’ with non-directory
+
+ or if one was using Windows.
+
+ 4) What happens instead is one gets a prompt noting:
+ File Conflict
+ Replace folder "test"?
+ A folder with the same name already exists on "desktop".
+ Replacing it will remove all files in the folder.
+ Select a new name for the destination
+ Apply this action to all files
+ Cancel Skip Replace
+
+ and if one accidentally hit the button Replace, the folder with all of
+ its contents are permanently deleted, and replaced with the file.
